I have a friend who is a Hockey East Referee

Seriously, I do. I work with him. He's a good dude. He knows the ref from last night pretty well.

But here's his take on the call last night. This shows how completely fucked up a refs' opinion is on really important plays in a game. Should be like football. Wait until the play is dead to blow the goddamn whistle.

Me: "Gravellese cost Michigan the game in the 1st OT. Blew the whistle when the puck was loose under the goalie and a Mich player knocked it in a split second after the whistle. No goal. Miami wins in double OT. Literally the worst call I've ever seen.

Him: "Sounds like he lost sight of the puck... it happens."

The lesson, as always; Refs aren't humans.

this why i believe that no hockey association(especially collage)should not use the face masks those things prevent fighting with out fighting people while whack away at the goalie witch most of the time the ref ignores this leads to goalie injures and cheap goals
